Popular Mechanics: The future PDA


I love these types of articles. Popular Mechanics has an article that combines some of the latest upcoming technologies and puts together what the next PDA will be and how it will change our lives! This is a great read and gets me excited for the new devices that will come out.
Call it the smart communicator. In a few years, the functions in today's personal digital assistant (PDA)--notebook, to-do list, calendar, contacts--will be the least of it.
Say good-bye to your PDA's power-greedy liquid crystal display (LCD). Say hello to the smart communicator's energy-efficient, organic light-emitting diode.
Another leap: high-speed wireless connectivity. As data-transfer speeds of 400 Kbps become standard, high-quality streaming video will become a reality
Tomorrow's smart communicator will hold 250GB--enough to store 55 movies.

What do you think?

I picked this up.

I was in a bookstore the other day and I saw this cool article. Its a neat looking machine indeed.
Has anyone on here ever used one of those laser keyboards?
I know they sell them for PDAs and I just wondered how well they work.

The virtual keyboard is anxiously awaited but production keeps getting delayed for some reason. I don't believe iBIZ has delivered to any retailers yet. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think this keyboard will be useful for touch typists. I never look at the keyboard when I'm typing and the home keys with the bumps on them are vital. Touch typing is 90% tactile feedback IMO.
My standing line on why the virtual keyboard keeps getting delayed:
Someone misplaced the prototype and now they can't find it.

I keep picturing my fingers getting in the way of the laser - thus the keyboard would only partially be visible at any one time. Haven't tested it yet so I cold be wrong.y
